Wafaa Bilal
Wafaa Bilal ((アラビア語:وفاء بلال) (:wæfæ bɪlˤɑːlˤ); born June 10, 1966) is an Iraqi American artist, a former professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and currently an assistant professor at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. He is best known for his work ''Domestic Tension'', a performance piece in which he lived in a gallery for a month and was shot by paintballs remotely by internet users watching from a webcam.
==Life==
Bilal's family is from Najaf, Iraq. He dreamed of becoming an artist but was prohibited from studying art in a university in Iraq, because of the alleged disloyalty of a member of his family; he studied geography instead. He continued to work on art and was arrested as a dissident for his art critical of Saddam Hussein. He refused to volunteer to participate in the invasion of Kuwait, and began organizing opposition groups. He fled Iraq in 1991 and lived in a refugee camp in Saudi Arabia for two years, teaching art to children.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Alternet )〕
In 1992 he came to the United States to study art at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, from which he graduated with a BFA in 1999. He later moved to Chicago, where he earned an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2003, and became an adjunct assistant professor the following year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CV )〕 In addition to his art he has given lectures about Saddam Hussein's regime and was interviewed by the History Channel.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New York University – About NYU – Search )〕 Wafaa's brother was killed by a U.S. missile strike at a checkpoint in 2004, something which deepened his condemnation of the Iraqi War. He has traveled the world and spread word of the situation of the Iraqi people, and the significance of peaceful conflict resolution.
